Unbiased, In-Depth Analysis of the Best Electric Bikes
Launched in March of 2019, Lectric eBikes is based in Phoenix Arizona. The company found success with the folding fat tire model, Lectric XP, which targets a low price point with mid-level parts and go-anywhere performance.
Their latest release, the XP Trike 2, is the sequel to the original XP Trike that was well-received by owners when it launched back in 2023. But like all first-generation products, feedback rolled in about areas that needed work—specifically that clunky, outdated display and the rigid frame that delivered a pretty harsh ride. So armed […]
In a time when tariffs on e-bikes have sent prices soaring across the industry, Lectric has managed to keep the price of the new XPedition 2.0 at an impressive $1,399, while adding some smart upgrades. With many manufacturers forced to raise prices significantly in 2025, this stability is remarkable for a cargo e-bike that was […]
There’s something remarkable about a brand that consistently delivers, upgrading nearly every aspect of a bike while keeping the price at the same jaw-dropping $999 that put them on the map. Meet the all-new Lectric XP4, the 4th generation of this flagship folding e-bike. With a sleek frame redesign, enhanced components, and some industry-defying magic, […]
When Lectric announced they were launching a bike at an RV resort near the Grand Canyon, it was pretty clear they would be updating their flagship XP model. Since the bike’s inception, it’s somewhat quietly become the best-selling e-bike in the United States, with sales topping 400,000 bikes. As we were driving down to the […]
The Lectric XP Trike marks an interesting expansion for the Arizona-based e-bike maker, venturing into the growing electric tricycle market. With a thoughtfully governed 14 mph top speed and focus on stability, it brings Lectric’s budget-friendly approach to the three-wheeled category. While trikes have traditionally found their sweet spot with riders seeking extra stability – […]
The Lectric XPress 500 Step-Through (ST) fits the bill for anyone looking for a no-nonsense commuter e-bike that gets the job done. Lectric keeps things simple, and the XPress 500 ST sticks to that formula—its low step-through frame makes it super approachable for all types of riders. That 500W powerplant hits the sweet spot for […]
Lectric has built a rep for delivering solid, wallet-friendly electric bikes that don’t skimp on utility. Their Xpeak 1.0, launched just one year ago, was a bold stab at the offroad eMTB-style market, but it landed with the thud of mixed reviews from its owners. Design misses like motor noise, a jumpy cadence sensor and […]
Lectric has built a reputation for delivering affordable e-bikes packed with features, and their latest, the XPress 750, keeps that trend going. This commuter bike is powered by a 750W motor (peaking at 1310W), giving you plenty of juice for everyday rides. With an 80mm suspension fork, torque sensor for a more natural pedal assistance […]
Ever since Lectric Bikes launched, the company has moved from one successful design to another. Their line not only includes their popular folding e-bikes, but they have added a cargo e-bike, an all-terrain e-bike and more recently a nearly maintenance-free model with a high-end Pinion gearbox. It is, however, the company’s XP 3.0 that is […]
It wasn’t so long ago that we gave side-eye to any e-bike that carried a retail price of less than $1000. What we saw again and again were e-bikes that looked like the manufacturer had taken every shortcut possible to deliver an e-bike-looking machine, without actually providing a quality e-bike. That ended with Lectric introducing […]
